I walked in knowing very little and walked out with a whole new appreciation for herbal teas and a bag of my own custom blend. Tatjana has a real gift for making the subject accessible and fun - her enthusiasm is infectious. The range of herbs on offer was impressive and the freedom to experiment and follow your own instincts made it feel genuinely creative rather than just a lecture. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming throughout. Already thinking about coming back to try a different blend combination. Highly recommend as a gift or just a treat for yourself! + more
